Title: Back in the Zone
Verse 1
Cold air, 5 AM, weight on my chest
Silence loud, but my head won’t rest
I know the grind, yeah I know the drill
Built this life on my own will
Every rep, every scar I earned
But there’s a voice I never learned
Kept it buried under all my noise
Now I can’t even hear You, Lord
Pre-Chorus
Hit that wall again, again
Swear I’ve got a better plan
But I’m running blind in the dark
Missing every single mark
Chorus
I’m not in the zone
I feel it in my bones
Running in circles, chasing control
But I’m out here losing my soul
I gotta seek You first
Before it all gets worse
All of this grind, all of this noise
And I still can’t hear Your voice
Verse 2
PhD in doing it wrong
Writing my will, calling it strong
Too busy moving to ever be still
Too much noise to feel what’s real
Doors don’t open, I force them through
Act like I don’t need You
You were speaking, I turned away
Now I’m lost in my own way
Pre-Chorus
Same mistakes, different day
Same excuses that I say
I’ve been strong, I’ve been proud
But I’ve never tuned You loud
Chorus
I’m not in the zone
I feel it in my bones
Running in circles, chasing control
But I’m out here losing my soul
I gotta seek You first
Before it all gets worse
All of this grind, all of this noise
And I still can’t hear Your voice
Bridge (drop to minimal, then build)
Strip it down, let it break
All this pressure that I make
I don’t wanna lead no more
I’ve been here a thousand times before
Quiet now… cut the sound
Let Your whisper pull me out
Train my heart, reset my mind
Leave this version of me behind
Final Chorus (anthem, full band)
Now I’m in the zone
But I’m not alone
Every step, every breath I take
You’re the fire I can’t replace
Now I seek You first
Now I know my worth
All of this grind finally has a voice
‘Cause I’m finally hearing Yours
Outro (soft, cinematic fade)
No more running, no control
You’re the center of my soul
Early light, I feel You close
That’s how I get back in the zone
